The Dynamic Block is easy way to put various patterns of block onto the floor but it is hard to convert them into other mapping tools.  Are there any ways to convert Dynamic Block to normal Block? Thanks

Please give more details on what you are trying to achieve.  If you want a 'normal' block in place of a dynamic block, the simple thing to do is to simply ignore the dynamic properties.  If you choose not to use the dynamic properties I don't see a functional difference between a dynamic block and one that does not have dynamic properties.

Open/import the DWG in another CAD software and export back to DWG format as a copy.  For example, I imported a DWG full of dBlocks in Revit, exported the view to DWG and all the dBlocks are dumbed down to normal blocks.

Just wonder if it may works if they are the normal block.

 

Any ways can do it?

 

Thank you again!

What does that mean please? What other mapping tools? Explain. Elaborate.

I suspect what you think is the answer may not be the correct path, looking at your screenshots you just need to create new non-dynamic blocks, you'd have a dozens by now if you started when you posted.

To convert DB to a block you would select / setup the instances of the dynamic block you want converted.

 

Make a copy in that state

 

Explode  >>  then copy and Ctrl + Sht + V  to paste it as a new flat block

 

To use the array on a flat block you would have to select the block itself and from the home tab select array.  There is no array functionality in a flat block.
